Never felt like I was 'entitled'

OK its a fine line but its not like I was ready to run to the sherif. The guy also wanted me to wait for him to set up his till (did'nt quote that part didja) Minnow dude is in the service industry.

Service to some means the costumer is ALWAYS right. I would not go that far but if the customer has a reasonable gripe you make a reasonable effort to fix it. Francis

LOL . Oh my life is such a struggle when you can't pee on demand or have to wait for some minnows and don't get them for free . Man Up .

I once owned a small bait shop and if I was ever late with a customer waiting, I would definitely have apologized but would have thrown in an extra scoop of minnows for nothing. That way I'd have still got paid and the customer would have still got free minnows. Neither one of us would have lost and he'd have come back again.

Over many years of fishing I have learned a very good lesson. If I want to be on the water/ice early in the morning, I buy everything I need the night before - bait, snacks, gas, etc. I've been disappointed more than once when the bait shop or gas station did not open on time.

+1

seems like the more of rush I'm in, the worst things go. Now I just take my time and have everything I need ahead of time.

You could teach something to the boys that whine about not being able to buy beer on a Sunday.

Great point Mid Lake-I like to support local businesses especially bait stores. Many blow in, use the resource (litter in some cases) and blow out.

But sometimes when the bite is off the fish you catch with minnows at 1st lite till dawn might be your only fish and for me anyway I then wait a week to fish again, so yep getting everything in advance might be the answer.

Maybe somebody needs to pinch you, business dont open up to serve you anymore, they are there to make a buck.

Sounds like you are under the impression that you had an appointment with him.... lol

I wish I got out enough to be upset when I do

I've only crossed the river to Cheeseville once. Just once.
